Building Materials Suisse (BMS) is the largest trader of building materials in the field of shell construction and interior finishing in Switzerland and the most important national company of Building Materials Europe, which achieves a total turnover of 3.5 billion euros. BMS is represented at over 120 locations and with exhibitions throughout Switzerland. Many of the brands under the BMS umbrella, such as Baubedarf, Richner, Gétaz, Miauton and Regusci Reco, have made Swiss construction history and, thanks to their strong local roots and personal relationships with customers, it is hard to imagine the Swiss construction industry without them.
Due to various company acquisitions by BMS and the consistent multi-brand strategy, a wide variety of online shops in different technologies were created over time. With the declared goal of being able to offer the main part of the product range online on a common database, BMS decided to replace the historically grown IT infrastructure and the various online shops with a modern and future-oriented e-commerce infrastructure and central product data management.
Automated product data onboarding is a strategic advantage, especially in the construction industry, as the product range is extremely diverse and the products have numerous properties and interdependencies that must be carefully managed for optimal customer advice and reliable cooperation of the products and construction components.
